Which of the following is a common consideration that applies to all types of performance testing?

The test environment should be as similar to the production environment as possible

Performance tests should only be run after all functional testing is complete

Performance tests should always be run on the production environment

The test data should be randomly generated without any business logic

Which of the following best describes the outcome of a capacity test?

Identification of the maximum number of users the system can support without violating performance requirements

A report of the system's response times under normal load

A list of functional defects found during testing

A comparison of the system's performance across different hardware configurations

A performance test plan includes the following exit criterion: 'The system must support 500 concurrent users with an average response time of less than 2 seconds.' What is the primary purpose of this exit criterion?

To define the test data requirements

To define the test environment requirements

To define the acceptance criteria for the test

Part of the Domain 4: Quality Characteristics for Technical Testing domain, which makes up ~14% of our current practice bank. ISTQB does not publish an official question count, but from its 120-minute exam (~50–80 total, ~7–11 in this domain), expect 1–2 from this objective — we provide 21 practice questions to prepare you well beyond it.
